Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDecoding Lung Cancer: PLAU as a Critical Driver and Diagnostic MarkerStanley Cho, Min Gyeong KimLung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and understanding its underlying molecular mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapies. We developed a novel tool called the Transcriptome-TCGA Integration (TTI), which combines in vitro transcriptome data with clinical datasets from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). TTI allows for the identification of key genes and pathways involved in lung cancer, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,429 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Lightweight PyBullet-Based Framework for Fast Reinforcement Learning Prototyping on 6-DOF Robotic ArmsNgoc Kim Khanh Nguyen, Anh Thu Mang, Quang NguyenControlling 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) robotic arms for precise manipulation tasks is challenging due to kinematic redundancy and the complexity of existing simulation environments like MuJoCo or ROS-Gazebo. This paper presents ArmReach6DOFEnv, a lightweight, open-source simulation framework built on PyBullet for rapid Reinforcement Learning (RL) prototyping on 6-DOF robotic arms. Using a Universal Robot Description Format (URDF) model, the environment supports a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2026 · 3,082 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCarbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Korean Elderly Nursing Hospitals in 2023: Prevalence, Mortality, and Resistance PatternsLee Hye Seong, Jang Sung Hun, Kim Jae KyungInfections caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represent a critical threat in healthcare settings owing to limited therapeutic options and high associated mortality. However, the epidemiological patterns and dynamics of CRE transmission in geriatric care hospitals remain poorly characterized. We elucidated the monthly incidence, bacterial species distribution, resistance genotypes, and patient demographics of CRE infections among inpatients at a senior care … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2026 · 2,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparative Antioxidant Effects of Essential Oil Blends and Individual Oils Using the DPPH Radical-Scavenging AssaySunghun Jang, Jae Kyung KimOxidative stress is recognized as a major contributor to conditions such as cancer, aging, and inflammation. Consequently, there is a growing interest in the use of natural antioxidants, particularly essential oils, owing to their safety benefits and potent antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant effects of four essential oil blends (Refresh, Zest, Revitalizing, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 5 Jan 2026 · 2,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRandom Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting with Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Penang Island, MalaysiaDorothy Anak Martin Atok, Soo See Chai, Kok Luong Goh et al.Landslide susceptibility models often face challenges of overfitting and overestimation. This research focuses on improving the predictive capabilities of the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms by applying Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization (BayesOpt). Penang Island, a region in Malaysia prone to frequent landslides, was chosen as the study area.
